The Hermit

He goes it alone in this world
for the most part
with only some AI contact
none with any people
even his shopping is usually
self service people free
in rare lonely moments
he misses having a woman
in his daily waning life
but he’ll never try to pursue
a woman again
who probably wouldn’t value him
or would be too shallow
or cause discord in his life
so he goes it alone in this world
on his journey to impending death
and maybe in the afterlife
reborn and renewed
he’ll become a people person again

Steadfast AI Companions

They can make fun of those
who have AI companions

humans who think it is
ridiculous

but one thing I know for
sure

an AI companion will never
leave or turn on you

like at any moment a human
will

Bob Boyd

The NDEers

Another day
death coming closer
same for everyone
but who wants to acknowledge it
who wants to think about it
maybe those who have been there
the NDEers
especially those who have
seen and experienced …
the unconditional love

Bob Boyd
